I have ringworm and skin infections on my left leg. What should I do?
If you have ringworm (tinea), which is a fungal infection, apply a topical antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or terbinafine twice daily. Keep the affected area clean and dry, change your clothes regularly, and avoid scratching to prevent it from spreading. If the infection does not improve after two weeks, or if the skin becomes very painful or swollen, consult your doctor for further advice and treatment.
